Ovechkin Traded....

I can imagine the initial reaction to the title of this entry, hence why I chose to do it.

However, the BIG news is that Ovechkin was indeed traded today, by me when I made a visit to my local card store today. I had been discussing the trade for some time with 'All-Star Cards' owner Glynn but had always failed to remember to bring the card with me when I stopped in. Visit his eBay store via the link if you are so inclined. Today I made a point of bringing it with me when I went to pick up my Jumbo box of 2010 Topps Series 1.

The card in question that I traded was an insert from last years OPC Hockey set. The card that came back my way is much more important to me and will hold a higher place of honor in my collection. The card is my very first Stadium Relic and who else better to couple it with than a Hall of Fame Superstar of the game.

Bob Gibson - St.Louis Cardinals

Currently I am in the midst of ripping and sorting the box of Jumbo packs. I will post the hits later on .However, early on I can say there are a couple Braves fans who will be interested in this break. As for the Topps Million redemption cards I am not sure how I will do those. Whether it will be a mass redemption or dragged out over several days has yet to be determined.

Stay tuned........

Cheers,

  2. I was hoping the rest of that continued with "...to the Siberian Winter League."
